Now the keyboard is ready I added the two last buttons that can be accesed by the thumbs. And I am still able to remove the board and buttons.
Today I putted the whole thing together.
EDIT: I ordered the screen now waiting :)
A few day ago I started rebuilding this projects to make it more portable I made it smaller and I want to use a new screen that is smaller(3.5") and uses less energy(http://www.adafruit.com/products/913). I have almost enough money to buy the screen after that I will make a new update. at the moment I can power it with 4aa batteries maybe I will find an alternative. I am sill thinking about how should mount the screen like a laptop screen or like a gameboy(flat) or maybe somehow else what do you guys think?
This is how it looks now:
This is the booster I havet to power the display as soon as I have it:
some extra pictures:
hmm, I think I burned out the amp. sorry. I think I need to order a new one.
I am programming a onscreen keyboard so I can type with only a d-pad
Programmed
Design
today I got the amplifier but I can't get it working I will search for what I do wrong.
At the moment I'm waiting for the 2 channel amplifier(http://goo.gl/zzhHfm) I bought from opencircuit.nl if I got that I can wire up the 2 speakers in the display case so I got sound from my pi.

Ah, thanks for replying! I love how this is out together. Just wondering how far you got with the 3.5" display before swapping to the 20x4?
Also do you have any samples of your code?
I didn't come far :) I broke the display so I didn't do much with it. What code do you want? I think I deleted it but maybe I do have some code you want.
Ha ha, i never actually managed to get my screen to display anything so you are a better man than me :-)
If you could share how you configured your screen to work with the PI GPIO i would be forever in your debt!
ha ha. But I didn't use a display with the GPIO but one with composite video output(https://www.adafruit.com/products/913) or do you mean the character lcd?
Ah, so that's how it works! :-)
I have a 3.5" touchscreen (Ebay Chinese purchase) that looks just like this one, but interfaces with GPIO.
I think you have to be a wizard to get it to actually display anything :-)
this will end up being more realiable than half the laptops on the planet :) keep going !

I love this little build - I am building something quite similar!
Are you planning on carrying out any more work on it?
Please say yes :-)
